Dr Laiquat has been included in the list in view of popularity, non-sectarian ideology; efforts to promote peace

KARACHI:

Internationally acclaimed broadcaster and religious scholar Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain has been included in the list of the 500 most influential Muslim personalities for the third consecutive time.

Acknowledging his immense popularity, the world’s leading research organisation Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre has included him in its list, which is an honour. In their catalogue introducing the personalities for the year 2015-2016, the organisation has paid glowing tributes to Dr Aamir Liaquat.

It has noted that Dr Hussain’s name has been included in the list in view of his popularity, non-sectarian ideology, efforts to promote peace and tolerance, his campaign against corruption and his love for the Prophet of Islam (Peace be upon Him).

Declaring him one of the most famous hosts in the world, the book says Dr Aamir Liaquat rose to eminence with his famous show ‘Aalim Online’. He became the most influential media personality and hosted the most popular TV shows due to his professional excellence and effective representation of the popular sentiments. In 2014, he was appointed as the vice president of a private TV channel.

Giving an overview of his background, the book says that Dr Aamir Liquat also took part in politics and served as a member parliament and federal minister for religious affairs. However, he resigned from politics in 2007 to give his full attention to his religious pursuits.

The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre, which issues this list every year, is an independent organisation associated with Royal Aal Al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought. Located in Jordan’s capital, this institute is engaged in research under the auspices of the royal family of Jordan.

In its latest list, Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain tops the media persons that the organisation has chosen from amongst the Muslim world.

It is beyond me why our media keeps insisting to call him a “Dr.” in spite of the proven fact that he bought the master’s and PhD degrees from a internet diploma mill. Can we show some respect for the real Doctors and PhDs of the country, and stop calling this crook a Doctor.Recommend

Height of disgrace!
We have such learned hardworking Muslims and Amir Liaqat does not even reach near them. I dont understand why he gets so much importance. Does people forget his off the stage talks and videos?.Recommend

Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman, Zaid Hamid, Salman Iqbal are also included? The organization “Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre” working under the influence or traces of Israel, a kind of propaganda in their script is dominant. Recommend
